I know it was that way with the old wishes, but I thought they would have fixed that in the new plans. There is a statement in there that leads me to believe that you are correct:

"Note: Upon check-in, all meals from the package are combined into one central account for the maximum flexibility. Any Guest in the party may use the meals from this central acccount at any time during their package stay until all meals are depleted."

So, according to that, you could just leave the kids in the room for dinner with a couple of Pop Tarts, and head off to Jiko or California Grill for dinner.

I am not sure if you go to a restaurant with the kids and you just share with them if they will get upset or not. I guess you can be the one to find out.
